3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 17

New York enters the matchup at 10-4 and has won its last five games by at least eight points, making the Liberty heavy favorites over a Chicago team that has dropped eight of nine.
Chicago’s slide accelerated after leading scorer Rickeya Jackson suffered a season-ending injury in the fourth game; the Sky were 3-1 then and are 1-8 since.
Sabrina Ionescu returned for only her second game of the season and scored five points in 26 minutes off the bench, giving New York another option alongside Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones.
Chicago has stayed mostly uncompetitive during the skid, with five losses by double digits and the last three defeats coming by eight, seven and 17 points.
The game underscores the widening gap between a deep Liberty team expected to contend near the top of the WNBA and a Sky roster still searching for answers.
